**Cardiac Rehabilitation: Where We Have Come and Where We Must Go** Timeline from CR inception through the present day, with projected direction for future to address gaps. CR has matured to be more comprehensive and to leverage technology to best optimize patient access and outcomes. The ICCPR was conceived in 2010, and as an umbrella organization, it has sought to amplify efforts of member CR societies and other stakeholders. Launches of CR guidelines, registries, and certifications are highlighted. In future, ICCPR’s Global Audit shall be repeated to determine postpandemic capacity. The community must continue to work together to get from 1 CR spot for every 12 patients in need to 1:1. CR = cardiac rehabilitation; ICCPR = International Council of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation; WHO = World Health Organization. ∗See here for current available CR guidelines globally: https://globalcardiacrehab.com/CR-Guidelines and Table 2 of https://pure.qub.ac.uk/en/publications/global-perspectives-on-heart-disease-rehabilitation-and-secondary.
